Changes in pentraxin-3 level and its interaction with metabolic indices in patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus

OBJECTIVE Introduction: Recently great attention is paid to studying of coronary artery disease (CAD) pathogenesis against the background of the diabetes mellitus (DM). First of all, the question of an inflammatory component role in development of atherosclerosis in patients with DM 2 types is studied. One of new perspective markers of immune inflammation is pentraxin-3 (PTX-3). The aim of the study was to evaluate the nature of changes in the level of pentraxin-3 in patients with coronary artery disease, depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to investigate the nature of the relationship with metabolic parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: Comprehensive examination of 110 patients with CAD was conducted. Patients were divided into groups depending on presence of type 2 DM: to the first group (n = 75) entered patients with CAD and type 2 DM , the group of comparison was made by 35 patients with CAD without type 2 DM. 25 almost healthy persons entered into control group. RESULTS Results: As a result of a research it is established the reliable increase in PTX-3 level in all patients with CAD in comparison with group of control for 65.40% . And in the conditions of the combined current of CAD and type 2 DM, PTX-3 level is for 80.14% higher, than in persons of control group. Also interrelation between PTX-3 and indicators of dcarbohydrate and lipidic exchanges were defines. According to the carried-out correlation analysis there was revealed existence of direct integral probable connections between PTX-3 level and levels of glucose (r = 0.41; p
